Flex ( (FLEX) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On July 29, 2026, Flex announced detailed leadership teams for both the parent company and SpinCo, its planned independent, publicly traded cloud and power infrastructure business expected to be spun off in the first quarter of 2027, subject to board approval and customary conditions. SpinCo will be led by Non-Executive Chairman Bill Watkins and CEO Revathi Advaithi, with current Flex CFO Kevin Krumm transitioning to SpinCo CFO, while Flex has begun searching for Krumm’s successor.

The post-spin Flex leadership lineup will feature Michael Hartung as CEO and Revathi Advaithi as Non-Executive Chairman during a transitional period, alongside new presidents for Integrated Technology Solutions and Regulated Manufacturing Solutions and a strengthened operations and transformation team. The leadership blueprint signals Flex’s intent to sharpen strategic focus, support long-term growth in AI-linked infrastructure and manufacturing markets, and manage execution risks associated with the spin-off, which include regulatory approvals, potential disruption to stakeholder relationships, and uncertainty around each company’s future financial performance.

Spark’s Take on FLEX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, FLEX is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by improving financial strength (notably deleveraging) and strong technical momentum. Supportive FY27 guidance and a positive earnings-call outlook add to the case, while the main constraint is a very high P/E valuation and some near-term execution risks from elevated investment intensity and CPI margin pressure.
